Epilogue
Emma sat on the floor of Eva's new room, trying to assemble the crib. Killian was leaning against the wall, reading the directions, and looking so confused by what he was reading that Emma had to bite her lip to keep from laughing.
"I don't know what the bloody hell any of this is supposed to mean." He sighed, threading his fingers through his hair in mild frustration.
"How long have you lived in this land? And things like this still baffle you?" Emma teased lightly.
"I've grown accustomed to a lot, but this is ridiculous."
Emma laughed. "It's fine. I'll just have David help me when he's finished carrying stuff in."
Killian scoffed, clearly very offended by her suggestion. "No. I want to be involved in this. I want Eva's room to be perfect."
Emma bit her lip, smiling. "Okay. Here. Give me those, and I'll tell you what to do."
Killian handed the papers to her, and joined her on the floor, picking up random parts, and inspecting them. Emma heard the scuffling from the front door. Henry and David were carrying in her furniture from her old apartment, and unloading everything that they had packed. Killian's place didn't have much, so it was easy to fit her things in, and all her decorations. Unpacking would probably take a while, but she didn't mind. It just felt nice to be moving somewhere where she knew she belonged.
David stuck his head through the door frame, and Emma looked up at him. "That's the last of it. Do you need help unpacking or anything?"
"No. That's fine. You've done plenty." Emma replied.
"Well, I'm going to go home and grab some food. I'll be back with your mother in a few hours to drop off Eva and see how you're settling." David said.
"Thanks."
David looked at Killian, trying to put two parts of the crib together, and failing. "You sure you don't need me to help with that?"
"Oi, mate! We're doing just fine."
David walked out, chuckling. Emma and Killian worked together, getting the crib set up. It didn't take that long, as Emma had set it up before, and knew the general process. Killian picked up on it quickly, and after they were finished, he stood looking at it proudly.
"That's one steady looking bed. Perfectly fit for my pirate princess." Killian beamed.
"She won't be in it much longer though. She'll be upgrading to a bed pretty soon." Emma mused.
Henry poked his head through the door, carrying a box. "I got the TV all set up."
"Great. Thanks Henry." Emma said.
"Here are some of Eva's clothes. I can unpack them if you want."
"That's okay. You deserve a break." Emma smiled.
"Okay. Maybe I'll head over to Regina's for a couple hours, and come back tonight. You guys want to do a movie night tonight?"
"Yeah. Sounds great." Emma said.
"Great. See you later." Henry walked out, waving.
"Bye." Emma called out.
"He's a great lad. Turning into quite the man." Killian said.
"Yeah." Emma agreed, walking over to the box Henry had set down. Opening it, she starting pulling out the clothes inside, and putting them onto Henry's bed in the corner by the dresser. She started folding them carefully, and putting them into a drawer.
Killian walked up to her, and hugged her from behind. Emma paused her task, and turned around in his arms, resting her head on his chest. Killian kissed the top of her head affectionately, and Emma looked up at him.
"I'm very honored to have you moving in with me." Killian said softly.
"Thank you for being patient with me." Emma replied. Leaning up and giving him a quick kiss.
"Of course. I'd wait for you forever, Emma."
"That's unnecessary now. I'm planning on staying with you forever. If you'll let me."
"Yes, Swan. I would like that very much."
